Transverter PI (Macintosh)

Q: Does Transverter PI work with Quark 5?

A: No, it does not. This issue was being looked into, but development of Transverter PI has been terminated
and consequently no further fixes or version will be released.

Q: After I select all my setting, and start the RIP process from
Quark, the little icon in the Apple menu flashes for a long time
and nothing happens?

A: It could be that the RipCore engine has unexpectedly quit in
the background. This may be due to virus protection software
(SAM, Norton Anti-Virus). Since the RIPCore engine runs in the
background, virus software may kill the process. Disable the
virus software and try again. Also, Rebuild the desktop.

Q: When trying to Transvert a page out of Quark, I receive an
error -43. What does this mean?

A: An error -43 is a File not found error. This occurs because
the Transverter XT plug-in cannot locate the RipCore engine
(which resides in the TechPool folder in your System folder).
Rebuild the desktop and try again.

Q: When selecting a watched directory to monitor in Transverter
RIP, I receive an error that reads: Please enter a valid directory
name.? Why?

A: The directory you are selecting has "Read Only" permissions.
Leave Transverter RIP and go to the directory and open the
Properties by selecting the directory and selecting Properties
from the File menu. The directory Properties window will appear.
Near the bottom of the window is the Attributes section. Uncheck
the Read-Only box and attempt to select the directory again from
within Transverter RIP.

A: The Blue and White G3 and G4 machines have Ultra-Wide SCSI
cards. The internal SCSI of Pictrography 3000/4000 and PSD400
can not handle the data flow at that speed. It is necessary to
install a Standard SCSI card (Adaptec 2910). Check with
Adaptec
for their models.

Q: When I try to spool (print to file using the PictroWriter
driver) a document from PageMaker 6.0 or 6.5, I receive an error
that reads: An error occurred while printing. Could not open the
printer. Check that printer connection is correctly set up in the
Chooser.

A: PageMaker is attempting to talk to the printer which is not
on the network (the PG3000 is a SCSI printer) and is unable to
locate it. It is necessary for you to bypass this feature. Hold
down the Option key while selecting Print from the file menu.

A: No, it does not. This issue was being looked into, but development of PS Editlink has been terminated
and consequently no further fixes or version will be released.

Q: Does PS EditLink work with FreeHand 8 and 9?

A: Yes. It works fine.

Q: After I import my PS or EPS file into FreeHand7, nothing
appears on the page. Why?

A: Macromedia changed the way the page redraws in FreeHand7.
After the file is imported, FreeHand does not redraw the page,
so nothing appears on the page. Force the page to redraw by
closing the file and save it, then reopen it. Using Windowshade
(System 7.5.5 or higher), double click on the title bar to
collapse the window, the then double click again to open. This
will force a redraw.
